Overview
- Alexa+ Greetings uses Ring video descriptions and visual cues such as clothing, objects, and actions to classify visitors and generate conversational responses, with Amazon saying it does not identify who the person is.
- Homeowners can set detailed instructions in the Ring app or via Alexa-enabled devices so the assistant can direct deliveries, turn away solicitors, or take messages from friends and family.
- Visitor messages and interaction details are saved alongside video footage in the Ring app for later review and follow-up.
- The feature currently works only on Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (3rd Gen) and Ring Wired Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen) for Alexa+ Early Access users with the Ring Premium Plan and video descriptions enabled, in English.
- Coverage highlights risks such as misclassification leading to inappropriate responses and notes existing legal limits like Illinois restrictions on certain Ring video features.
